Matthew 12:4-8

4how he entered the house of God and ate athe bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? 5Or have you not read bin the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? 6I tell you, csomething greater than the temple is here. 7And if you had known dwhat this means, e‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8For fthe Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
